Egypt Cruise 2017 - Rome, Italy to Dubai, United Arab Emirates
What an incredible trip! When we saw the itinerary, then booked the cruise, and then started to plan, we really could not imagine how fantastic it would actually be to be at the pyramids; be at Luxor; be in the Valley of the Kings. While we began in Rome and had a lovely, but wet stop, in Naples/Sorrento, the real focus of our journey was Egypt. Number One on Randy's "Bucket List".

Pre-cruise Post
We are heading back overseas to Europe to travel across the Mediterranean to Egypt, and then through the Suez Canal to the Persian Gulf. After all these years we are finally going to Egypt to see the pyramids and more...The itinerary is below.
Pre Cruise Schedule - As is our normal travel we will fly to Rome and arrive the day before sailing. This gives us some extra time in case anything happens or flights get delayed. We will be staying at the Hotel Majestic.
